Special Features | Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable |

Frequently Asked Questions
What standards do PCJ power cable joints meet?
The shield design meets IEEE 592 standard, and connectors meet ANSI 119.4 Class A and Class 3 ratings. Electrical ratings meet IEEE 404.
Can copper connectors be used with aluminum conductors?
No, copper compression connectors are for copper-to-copper connections only. Do not use them on aluminum conductors.
When should I use an aluminum compression connector?
Aluminum compression connectors are suitable for splicing aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors.
What is the phase-to-ground voltage for each class?
It is 8.7 kV for 15 kV class, 14.4 kV for 25 kV class, and 20.2 kV for 35 kV class.
What is the short-time current rating of PCJ joints?
The short-time current rating is equal to that of the cable rating, up to 35 kA.
What is the continuous current rating of PCJ joints?
The continuous current rating for PCJ power cable joints is equal to that of the cable rating.
What safety features do PCJ joints provide?
A molded conductive shield provides a virtually unbreakable ground shield for dead-front construction. A grounding eye connects to the ground wire.
What are the two styles of PCJ power cable joints?
Style 1 is for straight splicing of two similar cables. Style 2 uses separate cable adapters for transition splicing between different cable sizes.
What types of cable splicing do PCJ joints support?
PCJ power cable joints support straight splicing of two similar cables or transition splicing of different cable sizes, up to 1250 kcmil.
Where can PCJ power cable joints be installed?
They can be installed in direct-burial, underground vault, and overhead applications. They provide a permanent, fully shielded, and submersible splice.
